FROM LIFE TO DEATH

il but a moment If rheumatism or neurale
eia strikes the heart. These diseases are
the most painful and the most dangerous
of any to which human kind Is liable.
They fly from one part TO another without
q moments warning, and hniments and
other outward applications are in them
selves dangerous because they are liable to
drive the disease to some vital organ and
cause instant death. Rheumatism and
neuralgia are diseases of the blood, andcan
only be reached by a remedy which viii
drive from the blood the dangerous acids.
Such a remedy is Athlophoros. 1t has been
thoroughly tested and is safe, sure cure.
George Schneider, employed at the sash
factory of Huttig Bros. Manufacturing Co.,
Muscatine, Iowa, says: "About \ year ago
my wife was afflicted with both rheumatism
and neuralgia. She had used numerous
remedies with no apparent relief: Having
learned of some of the cures effected by
Athlophoros bought some for her. 1
think it was four or five bottles she used,
since which time she has been entirely
we'll of both rheumatism and neuralgia. As
she was 8 very great sufferer l consider
Athlophoros very efficient remedy In

Every druggist should keep Athlophoros

PITTsBURG, May 20.-A serious riot
in the coke strike at Everson, Pennsyl-
vania, was developed this morning
when mob of three hundred miners,
marching in body and generally
armed with bludgeons, suddenly ap-
peared on the coke yard at Jimtown.
When at the works of Col. SchOomaker,
without warning, they made savage
attack on the little knot of men who
were engaged in drawing out coke from
the ovens. This coke had been in the
ovens since the strike commenced and
some eight or ten labOrerS had been
While so engaged, the mob
suddenly rushed in on them and bru-
tally attaced them and such of the la
borers as could not escape were cruelty
beaten, one man having both arms
broken and being so badly kicked that
his lie is despaired of. Six men
altogether were beaten very
severely. All barrows and tools
used in the works were de-
ally accomplished their mission at
Jimtown the rioters marched through
Dawson and across YougohigOheny
river to the works of James Cochran &
Sons. Mr.. Cochran's SONS, assisted by
some non-uniOn men, had watered
out, the ovens of this firm and
drawn the coke from few ovens and
the anger of the mob was directed
against them. Fortunately, the hodr
was early and no one was yet working
on Cochran s yards at Nellie and Clar-
issa. But the mob, in the absence of
human victims, wreaked their VEN
geance upon the coke wagons and tools
at these works, destroying all such
movable property as they could lay
hands on. The riot was caused by an
an attempt on the part of the operators
to save the coke now in the ovens.
Thirty-five thousand tons of coke,
worth $50 900, is being burned up.
MORE TROUBLE FEARED.
PFrTsBURG, Penna., May 20-The
ChrOnicle-Telegraphi special from
Connellsville, Pennsylvania, says: Re-
ports of the number injured are con-
flicting, as several were quite seriously
hurt. At Cochran's work a son of
the proprietor was shot at a number of
times, but escaped injury. The rioters
are now gathered at Dawson and more
trouble is feared. 1t was learned this
afternoon that some of the officials of
the labor organizations are blamed for
the visit this morning. It is said that
they advocated such a movement on
the part of the strikers. This morn
ing'S riot is likely to result in a whole
sale arrest, in which the ringleaders
will be especially ferreted out.

sherman ON Reciprocity.

TORONTO, May 1S.-The following
extract from letter to Erastus Wyman
from Senator Sherman, on full recipro-
city between Canada and the United
States viii appear in Canadian papers
tomorrow.
"There is no question of greater inn
portance in our foreign relations now
presented than this. 1t certainly is an
object of desire to remove all existing
controversies and strengthen COM
mercial intercourse between both
countries. AS to the particular
measure proposed by ButterwOrth, or
indeed as to the extent which recipro-
city should go and the articles
which should be admitted free
of duty in the respective countries, do
not feel justified now in expressing an
opinion, for these must be the subject
of negotiation between and legislation
by the two countries. l can only say
the general object sought seems to be
one of the highest Importance, credita-
BILE alike to both countries. and will re-
ceive my careful ana friendly considera-
tion during the coming summer. 1t
would be discreditable in the highest
degree for the two countries, having so
many interests i'll common, and natural
friendship and amity, to have any irri-
tation or controversy about their trade
and intercourse with each other. AS
ever, truly, JOHN SHERMAN.

A Political Plot.

ST. LOUIS, May IA special from
the City Of Mexico says: Details of a
most formidable political plot are in
the possession of the government. Don
Carlos, claimant to the Spanish
throne, has signified his acceptance of
an invitation to visit Mexico and will
arrive In this city in few days. He
will make q social lion on the surface.
but those in the movement are already
planning to give his presence great po-
htical significance. They expect to
rally around him the church party of
Mexico, q remnant of the old imperial
faction, and other elements
opposed to the liberal government.
In answer TO letters laying before Rome
the plan to get control of Mexico and
asking approval, the pope's counselOrs
say they wish things in Mexico more in
their favor, but oppose revolutionary
measures. Their policy would be in
